Into The Blue: It was pretty evident that Robert Geller was a little all over the place when designing his Spring 2012 menswear collection. Where was his man going? Or better yet: Where was his man coming from? Was he Amish? Was he a man stranded on a tropical deserted island? He could have been a rebellious street punk for all we know. Regardless of what his message was, this collection showcased a refreshing splash of blue hues which closed the show.
Miss September: Superstar Jennifer Lopez graces the cover of Vanity Fair’s September 2011 installment, also known as the magazine’s annual Style Issue. Photographed for the cover by none other than Mario Testino, she “exclusively” opens up to writer Lisa Robinson about her life post-Mark Anthony. I think what everyone cares about the most is how she maintains her flawless appearance. Divorce has never looked so good!
Digital Dolce: On the day of the launch of their new online store, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana sit down with BoF editor Imran Amed in an exclusive interview to discuss the digital strategy for their business.
“Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. But above all black says this: “I don’t bother you - don’t bother me”.”

“Look around you. Better yet, look in the mirror. Are you the victim? After a deeply scientific, irrefutable poll, we gathered, analyzed, and ranked the most sartorially-challenged metropolises in the greater United States. It may be time to plan that move you’ve been thinking about.” - GQ

The Scorpion Queen: American Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is typically well-known for being extremely loyal to family, devoted colleagues and friends. Spoken like a true Scorpio in the April 2011 issue of WSJ, she says:
“I try to remain open to new people, but obviously there’s a stronger element of trust with people you’ve known for a long time.

We try very hard to integrate the familiar signatures with people we feel are new and up-and-coming, but I would rather err on the side of being a little more familiar than being too … What’s the right word? … Edgy.”
